Phone app for victims of hate crime

Adnan Chaudry, chief executive of Dorset Race Equality Council, said: “I am delighted with this great initiative. We know that there is still under-reporting of hate crime in Dorset and this app will make it easier for people to report incidents.”

An event to formally launch the app – in conjunction with Poole and Bournemouth councils – is on April 22.
